Nokia Warns Sales but Keeps Profit Goal
Nokia cut it Q3 sales target due to the slow down in wireless infrastructure sales. But they believe they can still meet profit goals due cost cutting and the launch of new high margin handsets. Network infrastructure only accounts for about a third of Nokia's business, the bulk coming from handset sales. But if infrastructure sales don't pick up in the long run, especially for WCDMA equipment, the company will have a hard time growing its overall business.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
